Forecast today: Generally clear
access a varied, north facing range of slopes. Their aspect helps them hold their snow, but the low altitude and exposure to warm weather fronts on the edge of the Alps can cause snow reliability issues lower down. When the snow is good however, there’s good green runs for beginners, but the main attraction are the long steep reds and blacks off Mont Lachet and La Floria. The lift system is decent, with most of the main runs accessed via fast chairs, but a few slow old chairs and drags remain.
The village is traditional and similar to its near neighbour La Clusaz, with plenty of old wooden buildings and French alpine charm. An alternative base lies at Chinaillon, which has direct access to the slopes and is a little more snowsure, owing to its altitude of 1300m. Off the slopes, cross country and biathlon are big business here and there are some excellent trails in and around the resort as a result. Travel from Geneva takes around an hour on a good run, making this a great weekend destination.

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
